The following paragraph is from the

Yesterday there arrived in Omaha
some prominent capitalists who are in
terested in a railroad between this city
and Yankton. Some of them are also
anxious for a new direct-line to the
principal parts of Kansas. After a
little drive over the city and suburbs the
gentlemen held q little meeting at the

future consideration. The gentleman
interested are a. Hughes, mayor of
Chadron, Neb.; Fl. s. Rich, Of Denver; j.

1t seems as though the Yankton.

pick. A few lively Yanktonians upon
the ecene might expedite the harvest.

Freight Trafic a Little on.

The train records show that last week there were
COZ fewer loaded cars received and forwarded at
Indianapolis than in the week ending Feb IL,
and twenty five less number than in the CORE
spending week last year. while there were 1,695
moro than in the corresponding week, 1885. The
decrease in business is wholly due to the
wretched condition of the country roads, which
make it impossible for shippers to reach the sta
tions in the country with grain or any other
products, even the sEpm ents of live stock have
fallen off: and the present condition of things
bids fair to last until the frost is out of the
ground, which will be some days, unless there
is a change in the character of the weather.
East the shipments of grain have dropped
to a minimum, seldom being lighter than now
There is some export flour going forward,
and a sprinkiing of cotton and tobacco.
and occasionally few carloads of lum-
her, but shipments of all classes of freight
eastward unusually light, while west
bound the tonnage is seldom as heavy as at the
present time. all Eastern lines showing heav-
Ter through business westward than eastward
and this promises TO continue for some weeks to
come, certainly should the break in west bound
rates in the East which occurred on Saturday
become more general. North and south roads
are doing a fair business for February. Ship
ments Of corn and provisions south are heavy
and on the increase. Northward the movement
is light Local business is of course off, SO diff
cult is it to get over the surrounding country.
There is considerable coal, lumber and stone be-
ing handled and shipments of agricultural I'M
plements and machinery OF all kinds are assum-
ing considerable proportions. Below is given
the number of cars received and forwarded at
this point in the week ending Feb. 10, as COM
pared with the movement in the corresponding
